Furrow, look at Ag Canada rainfall maps.

NW of Edm... Barrhead/Westlock region was the worst anywhere Down over 100mm.

We farm at Edmonton East and SE 100mi (Killam) on rain maps. Looks about what I said July 15. About 85 percent of normal yields on most fields... Edm east/SE short 50mm of normal rain fall this year. East Central AB is short 25mm most areas... We are the same as vast majority of NW and W central SK this year... on rainfall maps. Deep SE AB and Deep SW/SE/NE SK were about the same drought on the rain maps show.. down 50-75mm. Missing 50mm between May 20 and June 20 dropped yield 25 percent below normal... especially when seeded early.
Not understanding why you say not near drought.

I am not sure what % of prairies actually experienced a true drought this year?

In July there were several AV posters calling for a drought emergency payment.....haven't heard this talk in over a month???

Oliver,

By the looks of rainfall maps... 25 percent AB is below 75 percent of normal... perhaps 12 percent SK is below 75 percent of normal as well. This is eyeballing Ag Canada rainfall maps 90 day May 27 to Aug 27 2015.
